What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

MORPHEUS, The Matrix (1999)

The fantasy is simple. Pleasure is good. And twice as much pleasure is better. That pain is bad. And no pain is better. But the reality is different. The reality is that pain is there to tell us something. And there is only so much pleasure we can take without getting a stomachache. And maybe that's okay. Maybe some fantasies are only supposed to live in our dreams.

DR. MEREDITH GREY, Grey's Anatomy, "Sometimes a Fantasy" (2006)

I reject everything, man. And it's not because I'm unhappy or confused or afraid of reality. See, I can, I can, chew up the nastiest tastes reality has to dish out, man. And if reality serves me up some raw sewage, man - I'll, I'll slurp up a whole toilet-bowl full and call it ambrosia.

DAVID, 21 Jump Street, "High High" (1987)

If reality TV has taught us anything, it's that you can't keep people with no shame down.

LIZ LEMON, 30 Rock, "Subway Hero" (2008)

At the end of the day, life is just this big wall of reality that we all crash into.

GEORGIA THOMAS, Ally McBeal (1997)

Reality is wider than a single mind.

TRANCE GEMINI, Andromeda (2000)

Have a dose of reality, pal. You're gonna need it.

BATMAN, Batman Beyond, "Splicers" (1999)

Reality is a dangerous concept. Each one of us interprets it in a slightly different way.
